For sure, I can put up an option for a case amount (6 pack) onto the website.

What's the expiration on these. Also I never used a product like this and sea bed there website , so how do you prepare these to eat. Thanks

What's the sodium content like?

These meals are pretty high in sodium. The lowest chicken entree is 840 mg for the whole bag (56% of the recommended daily intake), and the highest is 3100 mg for the whole bag (206% of the recommended intake). That is quite a lot of sodium for one meal. I used to eat these occasionally when I was a hiking guide, most meals are very tasty.

Ps: I am using Health Canada's recommendation of 1500 mg a day. They say up to 2300 mg is "tolerable."

To prepare them you add a specified amount of boiling water, and wait a specified amount of time. The instructions come on each bag.

Sometimes I wonder if something like this would be better for hunting then a typical can of beans and weinners or ravioli.

I used these rations quite often as they are light weight and very neat to pack. It doesn't produce "messy garbage". Just roll up the package and seal it in a ziplock pack. Very little mess.

They actually taste very good, but they are not very "meat heavy" even if it is a meat dish. While the package said "2 portions", it is really for one person after a day of work. I also find that they like a bit more water than indicated.

Bingo!

You can buy veggie side dishes. Sometimes I just throw it into the entire and add extra water.

The single servings are too small on their own for a hungry man. I find the two serving ones leave me slightly over fed if I eat all of it on an average day.

Stroganoff is my fav.

Is it this brand that makes the Chilli Mac? That one is always good.

I've tried many different flavours of these and they've all been delicious

Thanks bud. At first I thought they were like the military MREs

More restock and different options have arrived!!

 

[Big_red_truck]

do they have single portions instead of 2 servings per pouche?

 

[Farmboy]

Some are single serving however even some of the double servings can be single for big eaters or if hungry.

That is why they are much lighter than MRE and you can fly with them. MREs have liquid and are not allowed by commercial airlines.

If you go to places where food is expensive or there is no "camping food" to buy, you can bring all the rations in the backpack and fly with them without shopping at local markets.

These also taste way better than an MRE. You can easily carry enough for four people for a week trip through the park and just bring a pot to boil water and a Nalgene pump for water that you can drink out of any lake.

 

[Riflemen]

Never had any of them but I think I may try them out this camping season, which is here!
